IDF officer slammed as ‘traitor’ for testifying against soldier in Hebron shooting case

IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gadi Eisenkot on Sunday came to the defense of the IDF officer who testified in the case of Elor Azaria, the soldier accused of manslaughter for shooting an already neutralized and unarmed Palestinian terrorist.

"Maj. Tom Naaman has the full support of the IDF," Eisenkot stated after Naaman recieved hundreds of hate-filled phone calls, as well as text and Facebook messages deriding him as not worthy of being an officer, being a "traitor" and other such comments.
